Pictures of Resistance: The Wartime Photographs of Jewish Partisan Faye Schulman Exhibit</p>
<p>The lives of partisans depended on their ability to remain unseen, undocumented and unidentifiable. But one fighter, Faye Schulman, had a camera. Schulman’s rare collection of images captures the camaraderie, horror and loss, bravery and triumph of the rag-tag, tough partisans—some Jewish, some not—who fought the Germans and their collaborators.</p>
<p>This exhibit is sponsored by the University Library and the Frankel Center for Judaic Studies at the University of Michigan. Additional <a href="http://www.lib.umich.edu/gallery/events/pics-of-resistance">events will be held</a> at the Harlan Hatcher Graduate Library, Gallery in Room 100 (use Diag entrance) at 913 S. University Ave., Ann Arbor, MI.</p>
<p>Public parking is available in the structure at 650 S. Forest, just south of S. University. Free and open to the public</p>http://www.cantonpl.org/blog/history/pictures-resistance%E2%80%A6in-hatcher-library-gallery#commentsHistoryTeensAdultsSeniorsProgramsWebsites1930s1940sexhibitsFaye SchulmanHolocaustJewish ResistancephotographyWorld War IITue, 20 Sep 2011 15:02:19 +0000madame librarian29446 at http://www.cantonpl.org Places & Spaces: Mapping Sciencehttp://www.cantonpl.org/blog/greenenvironment/places-spaces-mapping-science

This month at the <a href="http://www.lib.umich.edu/gallery/events">Hatcher Graduate Library</a>, the theme is “Mapping Science” in conjunction with the current Library Gallery exhibit <strong>Places &amp; Spaces: Mapping Science</strong>, a traveling exhibit created by Dr. Katy Börner of Indiana University. The exhibit was created to demonstrate the power of maps to navigate and manage physical places but also abstract topic spaces. It introduces knowledge mapping techniques to the general public. It is meant to inspire cross-disciplinary discussion on how to best track and communicate human activity and scientific progress on a global scale. Allow time to view maps from the Map Library as well as the exhibit.<br /><br />Third Thursday is a monthly open house that showcases the highlights of the Map Library’s vast collection. These fun, thematic events are open to everyone, offering the community a look at some of our favorite maps.http://www.cantonpl.org/blog/greenenvironment/places-spaces-mapping-science#commentsGreen/EnvironmentHistoryScienceTechnologyTeensAdultsParentsSeniorsProgramsexhibitsHatcher Graduate LibrarymappingmapsFri, 11 Mar 2011 00:39:54 +0000madame librarian24604 at http://www.cantonpl.orgGreat Michigan Read: Stealing Buddha's Dinnerhttp://www.cantonpl.org/blog/history/great-michigan-read-stealing-buddhas-dinner
